One DayBoy meets girl, again and again and again

PlotSt. Swithin’s Day, 1988. Bookish Emma (Hathaway) and raffish Dexter (Sturgess) spend the night together on their last day at Edinburgh university. We subsequently pick up their friendship on various July 15s over the next 20-odd years, charting how their lives diverge and come together as they grow older.

VerdictIt may not truly capture the complexities of its source material but One Day is funny, winning and entertaining - if little else.
